Thats his opinion on that matter. He wont and will not understand the full facts, reading only half into this. I'm not going to say whether his opinion is valid, invalid, or if it annoys me or not. Its one of those things. I do know the facts, its personal domain now. If she wants to make updates, keep people upto date on her conditions, in order that if something happens, people knew, thats fine with me and her right to do so.

Considering that EVERYTHING that I know came from what you and Biollante deigned to say, it isn't me you should be annoyed at if I don't "get it."

Well I'd never compare myself to those two, but in my case I'll probably just maintain a site with a forum and answer questions there or whatever. I don't expect a large following any ways, I'm certainly no George Lucas.

J.K HAD A GREAT STORY THROUGH HER BOOKS. IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER GREAT STORY TO MATCH OR SURPASS HER.

NOW MEYERS ON THE OTHER HAND USED HER SITE AND BLOGS TO GET THE WORD OUT ON HER BOOK. SHE WAS INVOLVED WITH HER FANS EARLY ON ABOUT HER BOOK AND FANS FANFICS. AND FROM THAT WORD GOT OUT ABOUT HER AND HER BOOK EVEN MORE. GREAT FORMULA FOR MEYERS WHO IS NOT LIKE GEORGE LUCAS.

I don't want Meyers, nor Rowling's fan base heh..........have to pass on that one. But anyway,I would never consider myself a professional, and neither would I think of myself as the best. In fact I very much doubt my abilities, but I think there's a bit of that in all of us. I doubt myself yet I still take those steps forward. I don't think I am a great writer but I think I can tell a story the way I want to. Living is a learning experience and so is writing. We live and do things we know, that we're familiar with, writing comes the same way. Only in writing you are portraying a world of your own, you're bringing characters to life and telling their story. You write about what you know, what you've learned, what you've experienced and those lessons and emotions show through in your writing, and that is how your readers are able to relate to your characters.

And that is also what makes your characters realistic, believable as real people. And some may have their own ideas on what generally makes a story, some may say the scenes do, but for me the characters make the story, they carry it all the way with their actions and their words. They're the ones who take you for the ride, you see things through their eyes, you see their world and compare it to the world you live in, to the situations you've been through. You see how they react and you can find yourself thinking or reacting in the same manner.

As for me, I can't say that I'm much anything like my characters at all, but I can say that in some ways or another I can relate to them, and I know others will be able to as well.

But I can say that "living is like typing a novel, you're going to get stuck, going to have typos and you're going to sit and think about how you would have re-written scenes if you had the time, but you don't, there's a deadline, leave it and move on, finish the story."


Also........

The questions I get on tumblr sheesh........

HEHEHE

NICE

yep more tumblr Q & A

Q: What do you look like?
A: I look like a person

*edit*


Q:you should draw porn of your characters

A: Be Gone! Away with you! *Hiss*

Q: when is the book gonna be out?

A: Whenever Publish America decides to publish and release it. Sometimes it takes weeks, or even months, depends on their schedule.

Q: Is Stan by any chance gay?

A: If by gay you mean homosexual? No I can’t really say that he is. He is a robot with a human persona but I’d say that he’s asexual. He does have the mind set of a guard dog and like most dogs, attaches himself to one individual which in that case, would be William. So is Stan gay? nope, he’s more like a sophisticated, synthetic guard dog which happens to look and sound human.

Q: what would Victoria look like if she were a cat?

A: like this

you’re not the first to ask…………………..and I had done one a while back for a friend of mine. O.O
